Independence Day

Exhausted from our trip, we celebrated America's Day of Independence with sparklers and an early bedtime.

But by July 7th, we had rested enough to tackle making cassava pudding in honor of Solomon Islands Independence Day.

The girls did all of the shopping and the work to assemble the pudding.  

In America, frozen, grated cassava and canned coconut milk make the process go a lot more quickly.  

Even if the final product doesn't taste nearly as good, we're still grateful for the opportunity to make and eat a little taste of home.
